I don't know what to do. I was physically/verbally threatened this weekend by this guy I've only known for a couple of weeks. I really liked this guy. He seemed great at first: nice, friendly, fun, funny, good with kids, etc.
Well, on our second night of seeing eachother, we were at the club. After taking a break from dancing, he went to get a drink. I sat down and while he was away, this guy started to talk to me. He must have seen this because when he came back, he said that if that guy kept talking to me he'd break his neck.
Then later in the night, he treatened to break my son's dads jaw. I said, "no, why are you saying this?". Then, he said "okay, I'll break your jaw then."
Nothing happened after that. He didn't physically touch me. But, I am really frightened. He was drinking alot that night so I'm not even sure if he remembers this.
This is the first time I've ever been in this kind of situation. I'm sure it'd be best not to contact him anymore which I plan on doing. I'm not going to initiate any contact. But, I'm afraid he'll contact me. He doesn't know my number, but knows where I live. We live in the same complex.
On the advice of another person, I recorded it to the police, but am not going to file a report. I'm too scared.
On the other hand, and I know this is crazy, but I still really like him. I really enjoyed being with him (except for this). We have fun together. Maybe I'm just making too big a deal out of this. I don't know. He's been seperated from his wife now for awhile, and has told me that he had a domestic in the past, but that it was her that did the abuse.
Any advice would be helpful. I don't know how to handle this if I run into him again or if he contacts me. I'm scared and I'm afraid that this weakness will give into him.
Please Help.
